The city of Los Santos saw a well-needed, welcomed break from the usual cycle of violence and crime with a fun, but still most definitely competitive, tournament of ONE at eight PM on Sunday, March 3rd, courtesy of Hell on Hawick's staff. The card game "ONE" has, to say the least, taken the city by storm, becoming a household name in the city in record time with many people picking the game up and dedicating a lot of time and effort to honing their skills at the popular card game. Some play casually with their friends during their downtime for some fun, others play for no other reason than to be the best. One thing is clear though, and that being that this game has been well-received by the citizens of Los Santos, and they proved it by showing up in droves to the city's first ONE tournament.

The ONE tournament began with four tables, with an average of four players per table all playing for their shot to achieve first place to win the grand prize of the tournament. Shortly after tournament participants were acknowledged and cards were dealt, the games begun. The intensity that most players displayed in the bar was due to the sheer competitiveness and drive they had to win. It seemed as if there were no alliances present throughout the entire tournament, individuals who walked in with their friends showed them no mercy during the tournament, effortlessly and somewhat happily eliminating them from the tournament as it went on.

After close to an hour and a half of the tournament, it came down to one final game to decide the winner. After a close round of ONE, Emmett was named the winner and congratulated by Hell on Hawick's staff and the other tournament members. Emmett was presented with a bag by the staff, and once again congratulated for winning the city's first ONE tournament. However, Naoko, who came in second place out of at least 16 contenders, did not go home empty-handed. She received a gift bag for coming as far as she did in the tournament shortly after Emmet received his grand prize. 

 

Although only one participant left the tournament victorious, it was clear that the event was enjoyed by all those who attended, and also by those who hosted it. One thing to think about is that the success of Hell on Hawick's ONE tournament begs the question of whether or not the city will see more tournaments for the hit card game similar to this one. While the answer to that question may not be answerable at the moment, one can imagine that more and more bars and businesses will adopt the blueprint set by Hell on Hawick to garner interest and attendance from the public.
